Hellooo Smorgasbord Family!
Re-entering Earth’s atmosphere to find I’m only 2000 posts behind in catching up. Which I will do so and reply as appropriate (prolly take rest of day)! LOL
More importantly, I wanted to express my gratitude and love to each one of you! The Smorgasbord Prayers, and Good Thoughts absolutely were wrapped around me like a warm blankie throughout my hospital stay. The healing powers were felt and continue to do so.
It doesn’t matter whether your are religious, spiritual, atheist - pure science (quantum physics), is like energy attracts like energy - so I received it all, in all its forms. Thank you.
I also want to thank everyone for the additional act of kindness. It humbled me and took a moment to digest. It will help tremendously. I will ensure it goes toward something meaningful, something tangible. I’m embarrassed actually.
So we can wrap up my week of medical adventures, I’ll give a quick (by my standards/LOL) update so we can move forward with fun stuff to chat about.
It’s rare they put someone thru that many scans with contrast and nuclear solutions in that short amount of time; however, I had a team of cancer drs. and ortho drs. agree it was the best given my various issues that connect- I agreed.
Good news: right femar shows no fracture, nor a pending one. However, the lesion has done a fair amount of damage and eventually, it will fracture. So I start a 10-day radiation treatment next Thursday. Best case - it kills the lesion so it’s not active. If not, at least reduce pain so I can walk without so much pain. Only downside to radiation is it could also fracture the bone. But I’m in a choices part of the journey so don’t worry about what ifs.
There is a small lesion on left femar, but not doing much and I can’t feel it. Hope is new chemo will take care of it.
Regarding all the lesions throughout spine, pelvis, hip, too many and will hope that new chemo works. Most I’ve had for a long time and the new ones are small so they don’t enter my mind. Liver is still active lesions so that needs to get help from chemo.
Hard part is choosing another new chemo drug -I’ve already tried the best ones; however, my path these last 10 yrs. Is to just get to the next breakthrough drug and it moves out of trial so I have access to it. There is one coming out at end of this year, I’m hoping I meet the criteria.
Bottom line: Nothing life threatening at this time. You all are stuck with my verbose posts for quite awhile.
Looking like TSA trip will be sometime between May 12th-26th. I will be speaking with TSA today I think. I’ll start a new thread for the trip once I have the firm dates.
Again, all your love and prayers, jokes, memes, food discussions, recipes, pictures of tailspots, birds nests, incredible tanks/fish (JOEL); baseball pics/lore, pics of of fur family, discussions of GHA, DIY, CUC favs, career opportunities, feeling like a wet noodle, needing a beer or a blankie, or just dang salty…
Has made this woman whole.
Now, who’s rdy for a taco!
